The 3 seats appealed to me. I always liked the lines of the 1970s Matra-Simca Bagheera M550 which had 3-a-breast seating. I was stationed in West Berlin at the time and thought it was a pretty neat car, but I don't believe it ever made it to the USA. Just as well it never came here as it won the Sliver Lemon award in 1975 form the German Automobile Association for having the poorest quality!Matra Bagheera - Wikipedia
